Wow, that's some fancy details there... I probably wouldn't have paid the extra cost for that - I mean, imagine constantly having a 3D copy of a genitalia (albeit of da Vinci design) resting towards your belly while playing? Maybe the extra masculinity is good for the sound, though...

Looks like a nice model, though. High upper corners are probably a treat for German players having trouble reaching the E, such as myself. Beautiful wood and workmanship throughout.

I think Mr. Quarrington mentioned owning this bass on his profile? I would like to know roughly how it is tuned. Is it perhaps tuned CGDAE? (High E)?

Please excuse my ignorance!

Lamarre's sculpting work is as usual quite stunning. For me, the decoration under the button is most impressive and I really like his violin corners. I've never been keen on his choice of tuners though. For a bass of that class and expense, even though he decorates the peg ends, for me they don't seem to match the work.

I'd like to see more detail on how his adjustable tailpiece works!
